G'day Narell, 

Sorry to hear that - if you haven't already, jump over and fill out a warranty claim so our team can get more info!

G'day Steve,

Unfortunately it doesn't have anything that allows you to set a temperature range and alarm, you'd just have to keep an eye on it at regular intervals if you were expecting an issue with your fridges compressor or power supply.

G'day Barry,

We're not provided with any information about the power consumption of this unit, and it 100% depends on the quality and type of battery you are using, so we can say with any certainty sorry.
I'd say around a year might be a good ballpark.  If you are not using your fridge for longer periods of time, and you don't need the thermometer to be running, just remove the batteries.

G'day Vicki, 

Companion state this has a 25-30m range, so it sounds like it would, however, I'm pretty sure this is only relevant over an unobstructed distance.
I'd say the reality is that it wouldn't work in the situation you've described.
Some people have reported not being able to read a fridge in the ute canopy, from the cab.

G'day Ian,

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you here.
I've contacted Companion to have a chinwag about this, and unfortunately, multiple units won't be able to be used in proximity.
They've done some testing on these and there is interference that causes misreadings.

G'day Pawel,

There is a seal around the battery compartment on the unit that goes inside the fridge, however, we wouldn't recommend submerging the unit in an ice-filled esky, as there is no specified waterproof rating on the unit.

G'day Simon,

Unfortunately, Companion doesn't specify a battery run time on these units, however, we've not had any feedback to suggest battery usage is high. 

G'day Joe,

Yes, you can use this with any brand of fridge, you just pop the transmitter into the fridge, and then your receiver can be used anywhere within 25-30m of the unit.
